[Brian37]

This girl made a lemonade stand in sport of gay rights and to protest the notorious Westboro Batshit Insane Church.

Can't see the details as I've been banned from that site. However, I've gotta think that 5-year-old with a stand on gay rights was indoctrinated into that position...and aren't you guys generally against indoctrination?

What? Holly fuck, there is another guy on Rational Responders on this topic who argues the same thing.

Do you know how absurd that argument is? The people who thought mix marriages between races were indoctrinated and therefor indoctrinated their children. Women couldn't vote because indoctrinated men thought they should not vote.

When did you chose to be heterosexual?

Then you would consider Sunday school indoctrination, right?

Never mind.

calm down, the point he's making is that it's not a big deal seeing an indoctrinated 5 year old take a stand for a cause, you can teach a 5 year old to stand for anything. You can also force them to do it so it would interesting to see if the kid any choice in the matter or she was coerced. Don't get me wrong, the cause she's standing up for might be worthy, but the fact that she's 5 is not something special, and can sometimes be concerning.

I'm always skeptical when a young kid gets into political activism, are they doing it because they really want to do it, or are they just a tool?

So you think that telling children not to hate people because they're different is indoctrination? I'd call it morality.

Indoctrination of morality, obviously.

Yes, hypocrisy can draw attention.

It's not an argument, it's an observation.

Yes, of course it is.
